The Loss Adjustor - Aifric Campbell

Rather bleak novel about a woman trapped and isolated by memories of a teenage tragedy and the resulting loss of her first love. A compelling read, but I found it strangely difficult to connect with one of the main characters because of the author's careful refusal to label her "difference" (eventually revealed as autism on page 228) which had me confused at times as to whether she was perhaps just younger than the others, or simply a "difficult" personality, and prevented the central relationships from coming fully into focus for me.
